WITH the world security outlook uncertain, there has never been a better time to consider if your business is really doing enough to ensure its survival.
Cyber security is an ever-essential consideration – and cutting corners can mean disaster.

This year’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey, published by the Government, found that 50% of UK businesses reported having experienced some form of cyber security breach or attack in the past 12 months.
The figure is higher for medium and large organisations, with the figure rising to 70% and 74% respectively.

So reviewing how prepared you are is crucial for anyone running a business, large or small.
